Only last week, Ivor Caplin, the former Labour MP for Hove and Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement—who played a key role in the removal of Jeremy Corbyn—voiced his opinions on the Asian-Muslim grooming gangs debate. Tony Blair’s former Defence Minister and Chair of JML (an organisation with close ties to the Israeli regime) appeared on GB News last Sunday to weigh in on Jess Phillips. Specifically, he addressed Elon Musk’s accusation that Phillips is a “rape genocide apologist” for refusing to reopen an inquiry into Muslim grooming gangs.

Caplin now finds himself embroiled in a scandal of his own. The 66-year-old was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of child sex offences after a sting operation conducted by the vigilante group Stop Stings. Renowned for exposing alleged predators, the group live-streamed their citizen’s arrest of the former Jewish MP on Facebook. The broadcast, spanning over 30 minutes, attracted more than 36,000 views and 3,000 comments.

In a statement, Sussex Police confirmed: “We are aware of footage circulating on social media showing a man in Brighton being detained on suspicion of engaging in online sexual communications with a child. Officers can confirm that a local 66-year-old man was arrested on Saturday, January 11, and currently remains in custody. This is an ongoing and active investigation.”

    I am waiting for a strong rebuttal and a declaration it is now antisemitic to arrest a paedophile, the same as it is apparently antisemitic to attempt to arrest war criminals.

    I think it’s noteworthy that it took a citizen group to arrest this person, instead of the police… I wonder if it wasn’t live-streamed if it might have been covered up

      The UK pigs would never commit this act of gross anti semantism.

      Plus nobody cares if old parasites rape the children of the poor, this just how it always has been. Accept it pedons.

    What’s the relevance of him being Jewish?

    A paedo is a paedo. Doesn’t matter what their race is, surely?

    Edit: Just read that it’s a Muslim news site, so it’s just some religion v religion bollocks.

      He was head of Jewish Labour which is a Zionist lobby group. They railed against Corbyn for “antisemitism” because he opposed Israel. And noteworthy is they spread the Pakistani rape gangs propaganda.

          The part where it somehow gets associated with al Pakistanis and then all Muslims (see brown people)

          Where it receives more media coverage than any other rape event but somehow gets claimed to receive no coverage.

          The part where 86% of rapes are by 83% of the white population but there is an illusion created by the media that brown people are doing more rape.

            I am not in the loop of what actually went down but the drama is about a government report that ain’t being released. That’s a huge issue.

            As for marginal groups stirring hatred online that’s just how internet be… Rich people pay good money for these services. Bad faith actoes opinions are not relevant to proper discourse.

            PS why are my comments getting removed lol

            Do Jewish pedos getting preferential treatment… Again?

              It certainly was a mistake from the police. However the media spin is also dishonestly trying to frame an entire minority for it.

              The mods are not fans of comments framing all minorities for what a few people have done either. I cannot say I disagree with them there.

        He was head of Jewish Labour which is a Zionist lobby group.

        And?

        They railed against Corbyn for “antisemitism” because he opposed Israel.

        Slightly more to it than that, but okay, still not relevant.

        And noteworthy is they spread the Pakistani rape gangs propaganda.

        Is it propaganda if it actually happened? Just because there are also white grooming gangs doesn’t mean there aren’t any of other races.

          Most propaganda “actually happened”.

          When Trump starts screaming about banning all immigrants because one immigrant raped someone that is also propaganda.

      With the genocide in Gaza, people would be more likely to recognize him as head of that Jewish organization than as an MP.

      In the uk there is an issue of over reporting on Muslim sex gangs, when the minority of grooming are done by white men. I do agree though that his Ethnicity should not come into it.

      Edit: Ethnicity not nationality.

        It turned out that in recent years despite 83% of the population being white they were responsible for 86% of the rape cases. But somehow right wingers manage to spin rape as an immigrant problems. And then paint all brown people as Muslims because racism.

    Why does this article embed a random Tweet from some fascist trying to link this to a positive thing Ivor said about pride in that past?
